Originally released on the PSP, the Dissidia Final Fantasy series has always been about good vs evil, light vs dark, Final Fantasy hero vs Final Fantasy villain. Granted, there have always been figureheads that have spurred the two sides on, but the turmoil between all the characters within the games was always more than enough to compel them into fighting each other. With Dissidia Final Fantasy NT arriving in late January 2018 it appears that the cycle is once again continuing, with two new gods summoning their combatants to do battle in their name. But all is not as it seems, which is revealed in the latest Dissidia Final Fantasy NT story trailer. Check it out below:

As seen in the trailer, the world in which the first Dissidia games took place is in peril. Dark blots of energy crawl through the sky, coalescing into a yellow dragon that Sephiroth refers to as “The Beast”. It is implied that the unknown enemy is feeding off the energy of those trapped in conflict, which suggests that neither Materia nor Spiritus are each other’s true enemy. During a clash between Cloud and Sephiroth, the latter tells Cloud that eventually their goals would align, implying that at some point during the story the entire cast of characters may join forces to take on an even more malicious foe. At this point this is speculation, though a super-powered team-up between Final Fantasy heroes and villains would be pretty awe-inspiring to witness. Dissidia Final Fantasy NT arrives exclusively for the PlayStation 4 on January 30, 2018.
